Having fought in the "blood for oil" war, (exchange instructor US Navy and marines), ethanol is a beautiful thing. Non fossil fuel. Non middle East. E70/E85 good, E100 even better. Restoring a Skyline is Carbon friendly, E85 (from waste largely) even better. Appropriate tuning and fuel systems give more fun too. "80or200" why don't you put your pixsy life of the line in the name of "blood for oil".

Not enough outlets sell the stuff yet.... but in 12 months....

if it becomes common, im hoping my 575's will be enough for a safe street tune

probably will have to rebuild my engine with forged internals and replace a bunch of perishable rubber

appreciate the sentiment, i like less emissions and more horsepower, thing that is concerning is the amount of energy/material required to produce the e85 at the quality we need it

i just want it to get more common, aka at least 1 bowser per petrol station (like LPG had back in the day)

its all you need (as well as a certified 85% ethanol content for cars that dont have ethanol content sensors)

Hey pal I think your being a tosser, if you had read any threads related to E85 on SAU you would realise I'm one of the biggest champion's for the fuel, I love the stuff!

That comment was a dig at the person who started a new thread for a topic that has plenty of open one's and a shit stir to the guys who have already had there car's tuned by me to run E85!!!

regardless I like your passion to the subject.

what sort of fuel ecconomy are you guys running e85 getting?

lowest i've gotten in my GTR on PULP is 14L/100kms

but when pushing it a bit every now and again it'll get up around the 16-18L/100kms

I cant give you a number mate, I dont use mine as a daily, at a guess i'd say add 20-30% and you be close, I guestimated mine is drinking around 6L/min at full boost, just on that point I think most poeple are running out of flow from just one pump, upping the pressure only reduces flow, 1 044 only flows 5L/min at best, then add some hefty rail pressure and it might manage 4L/min, I'm thinking just throwing huge injectors at the problem wont fix the issue's people are having.

Yes I was having a toss!, LOL but am building my car for e85, as a complete package. There are reasons like what is the logic of middle east oil now, for less performance etc etc.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
